Blueberry

Yes.  We are expecting baby #3.  We found out quite awhile ago that this one is a girl!  I'm so far behind on blogging that now I am 31.5 weeks along.  Benny fondly calls this little miss Blueberry :)  We even had a fun 'gender-reveal' party.  Here are the highlights:

Claire Turns 2!

Sorry Claire.  I'm way late on posting about your birthday.  You are the sweetest!

Little Fishy....

Benny can swim the length of the pool!  Afterwards, I told him he was a good little fishy.  His response?  "I'm not a fish Mommy.  I do not get my oxygen through gills."  That kid.

Easter Joy!


 This Easter was particularly fun with two cuties who both were excited.

Easter egg coloring with Ella and Luke...

Claire and Luke helping out the bunny...


Our bunny always comes on Saturday.  He knows Mommy is awfully busy on Easter Sunday.  The Bunny selected these awesome sunglasses.

Community egg hunt with the bunny.

Her egg collecting skills have significantly improved this year.

A speedy egg hunter...

Post Easter dinner at Lindy and Stevie's house=playing with chickens.



It is sort of hard to see in the photo, but Stevie and the kids made a kite.  Success!


My mom is a twin.  She and her sister celebrate their birthday tomorrow!  Birthday cake for dessert!

Happy Birthday to our Nana!

Happy birthday Nana!  I'm not sure how old our dear Nana is turning today, but she looks and acts to be around 60 I'd say.  Visit her in Florida, and she will still make you fabulous meals and chase her great-grandchildren.  She's a pretty spunky lady.

Below are some of the sorts of pictures you get when you tell Benny to look at the camera and smile:)




I think that this one is perhaps the best :)

Last but not least, here is Benny's 4 year old rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Nana.  We love you Nana!

BMW Race Car Party!

Hard to believe my baby turned four!  This little lad has been eagerly waiting for his birthday for the last few weeks.  Here are a few of the day's highlights:

Benny is so well loved.  We needed 2 cakes for his party :)

The cake baker...

Oil and oil filters...Not necessarily the standard party décor but just a few of Benny's favorite things...


Claire was just happy to snuggle baby Alethea.

Benny's beverage choice for the party--Motor Oil.  Aka...chocolate milk.



Benny thought the group was a bit slower to gather to sing and watch him blow out his candle.  He took matters into his own hands:
